Denis GARGAUD CHANUT (FRA)

On how he thought his first run went:

"The first run was pretty good for me until the last part of the course. Then I had a mistake. I had to adapt myself to the situation and it was finally not so bad given the circumstances."

On his second run:

"I was keen to improve on the second run and I'm quite happy with the final result of the day. I'm now looking forward to the semifinals.

"I had a touch in the second run which cost me first place."

On how the windy conditions affected him:

"(There was) a little wind. And you know we make adaptations in sports. I'm used to every situation that comes to me.

"I had to learn to improvise because of the wind we didn't know if we would race first and then we didn't know if there would be a second run."
